composed by Arnold Schoenberg

Originally released by Koch, these recordings of key works in Arnold Schoenberg's oeuvre are now part of Naxos' Robert Craft Collection, a series of reissues that reaffirms the conductor's unflagging devotion to modern music, even if the performances and recording quality periodically flag. The pieces predate Schoenberg's discovery of the twelve ...

composed by Richard Wagner

Nietzsche may have been the first, but he was by no means the last to note that Parsifal was blasphemous. Wagner's final opera, his self-described "sacred festival stage play," Parsifal is a work steeped in the Christian mythology of the cross and the blood, but its message of compassion through suffering and transcendence through renunciation is ...

composed by Alban Berg

While baritone Tito Gobbi is primarily known for nineteenth century Italian repertoire, his professional breakthrough came when he sang the Italian premiere of Wozzeck in Rome in 1942 in Italian. This CD preserves a performance of the opera from 1954, made with the RAI Orchestra and Chorus, Rome. Conductor Nino Sanzogno obviously "gets" the opera ...

composed by Alban Berg

Someday soon, recordings of the two-act version of Berg's Lulu will be historical curiosities. After all, now there is an authentic three-act version of the opera with the melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and most of the orchestration in Berg's hand. But there was a time when all there was of Lulu was a two-act torso and that was all anybody thought ...

composed by Leos Janácek

It says a lot for Janácek's growing presence in the operatic mainstream that Jenufa, which waited more than a decade for its "big city" premiere in Prague, and which existed for many years only in an edited and re-orchestrated version by Karel Kovarovic, now has multiple recordings using the original score -- and good ones, at that.
